Attempting to compile this package with newer Kernel version (e.g. v5.4) fails with message: Generating local configuration database from kernel ...Kernel version parse failed! Upgrading the package to 5.8 fixes this issue. Anyways, v4.4 is now rather old and beat the very purpose of having newer drivers in older kernels. Since backports tag v4.14-rc4-1, the requirement on minimal kernel version changed from 3.0 to 3.10. See commit [1]. The minimal kernel version check is changed accordingly. License files are also updated: the linux backports package copies the license files from the kernel version used for its generation. v5.8 is now "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note". However, there is no such SPDX identifier (contrary to what is said in the COPYING file), so we keep it as GPL-2.0 (which also keeps it aligned to what we have in linux.mk).

The linux-backports package includes many Linux drivers from

recent kernels, backported to older ones.

This version of linux-backports supports kernels starting

from 3.10.
